Anakin Skywalker

In literature, archetypal characters are the “typical character patterns” you see. In Star Wars: A New Hope, you can clearly see these patterns. The main archetypes in the film are the hero, the sage, the damsel in distress, and the villain. Luke Skywalker is the obvious hero of the story as he leaves his home to go fight to save Princess Leia from Alderaan. Princess Leia is the damsel in distress and that becomes apparent when she sends the hologram message to Obi Wan exclaiming that she needs…

It was over. The Empire had lost both their leader and strongest weapon, not to mention some of their finest troops. Sure, they still had Admirals spread throughout the galaxy, each probably with their own fleet, but without someone there to hold their hands and make sure they all got along, it was doubtful that they would be able to continue in a war. Years of the Rebellion's fighting, of losing allies and friends, had finally paid off. The Empire was done. A low groan dragged Luke out of his…

And as a matter of fact, Kylo and Rey’s interactions in the Last Jedi were much stronger than before seen, as the two are able to see each other and interact physically. As kylo and Rey…

Enslaved or Empowered Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983) is part of an iconic franchise and includes the infamous slave Leia. When Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) is captured by Jabba the Hutt she is forced to wear a metal bikini while chained to Jabba himself. Earlier this year Disney was rumored to be taking the slave Leia merchandise off store shelves. This could be due to the sexually revealing nature of the outfit which contradicts Disney’s more family friendly orientation. However, many…

During my research of Anakin Skywalker, I had run into some challenges getting to know him on a deeper level. I was also able to connect the storyline to new historicism, and view on how Anakin relates to coming of age. The main thing that I found to be challenging about my characters was finding the films. Growing up, my family and I never sparked an interest in the Star Wars movies, so we never watched them. Wanting to get a better understanding of what I was reading on starwars.com, I…

and idealizes her wealth and hedonism. Gatsby is blinded by his hope and does not see that Daisy has corrupted his dream from happiness to wealth, and so he makes his fatal mistake.

Anakin’s dreams of power…

Ambition As falls the dew on quenchless sands, blood only serves to wash ambition's hands (Lord Byron). In William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and George Lucas’s Revenge of the Sith (ROTS), both Anakin and Macbeth become aggressively ambitious of achieving power through being ruthless and killing people. This warring ambition which is influenced by external forces advents the destruction around them and in themselves. An ambition that goes against moral conscience has devastating results. Such…

Power of Ambition We humans have always desired power and in decades, our ambitions have blinded us. What we are capable of doing to get what we want, might sometimes surprises us and afterwards leaves us unrecognisable. Even though the amount of power of ambition varies from person to person, the theme has at least created inspiration for many great stories. Some, which morals I will touch upon throughout this essay. First off, we have the famous Shakespeare play; Macbeth. A story in which…
